JOCI
For my first teacher journal I read "The Journal of Curriculum and Instruction" which is co-edited by Chan Evans and Sharilyn C. Steadman, College of Education, East Carolina University. The journal focuses on various aspects of k-12 curriculum and education. Going into this reading I thought it was going to be very dull and boring but after going through it I actually found it to be extremely relevant and helpful. As someone who is going into elementary education I found that this journal was extremely relevant to what I want to do and the skillset that I need to develop to be able to do so effectively. I found a lot of very helpful and relevant information that I think I would benefit greatly from holding onto and incorporating into my studies and one day my job. The text includes many research studies, practitioner articles, and book reviews along with information and guidance on how to incorporate all of this information into the classroom as a teacher. I thought that this was extremely helpful and beneficial for me to read as often times I feel that this is one of the things that is very much lacking in my classes. I really enjoyed being presented with information and then not being left with it but instead being advised and instructed on how I can use it to not only improve my abilities and my effectiveness as a teacher but also as a person in general when dealing with kids and understanding child development and learning. I believe that this was overall the most helpful and relevant piece of text that I read. I think for this reason I also appreciated this text more than any of the others I read. It was just so relevant to everything I want to do ant everything that I want to learn that I couldn't help but enjoy it.

Hi, Michael. You were supposed to find a book title from a journal article, read, & respond to it. You weren't supposed to respond to the journal article!
